Static Compute Resources

For customers willing to upgrade to the latest compute resource tools (corresponding to OnApp version installed)

  • This step applies to CentOS 5.x Xen compute resources only. Run the following command:

    1
2

    # rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/GITCO-*.repo
# yum update onapp-hv-install

  • Run the OnApp Xen Compute Resource installer

    1

    # /onapp/onapp-hv-install/onapp-hv-xen-install.sh

  • Reboot all compute resources.

For customers which are using latest compute resource tools or do not want to upgrade them:

  • CentOS 5.x

    1

    # yum update xen xen-libs

    This should update to the xen-3.4.4-25.el5.onapp.x86_64 version.

  • CentOS 6.x

    1

    # yum update xen xen-hypervisor
    • For versions of OnApp HV tools prior to version 4.2.0 this should update to the xen-4.2.5-38.31.onapp.el6.x86_64 version.
    • For versions of OnApp HV tools after version 4.2.0 the fix is provided by CentOS.org. The command above should update to the 4.4.4.-13 version.

  • Reboot all compute resources.
